You are ACE!
The Ageing Australia ‘You are ACE!’ award and recognition program recognises excellence as it happens across aged care, retirement living and seniors housing.
If something excellent is happening in your organisation, take a few moments to nominate an individual, a team or the whole organisation to say ‘You are ACE!’
Perhaps they have delivered an innovative project, or simply made someone’s day. If you know anyone who is going above and beyond to make a difference in the aged and community care sector – nominate them today!
You are ACE! nominations received from 1 July to 30 June will be considered for the Ageing Australia You are ACE! Awards, with the winners announced on Aged Care Employee Day, 7 August, each year.
All you do is nominate. We do the rest!
Nominate an individual, team, or organisation by clicking here, select an individual, team or organisation category, and tell us why you think they are ACE!
(Staff, older Australians, and their families can all nominate.)
Your nominee will receive a ‘You are ACE’ certificate of excellence from Ageing Australia, along with your note, and you’ll get a copy too.
For added recognition, you can opt for the nominee to be considered as a spotlight story across media platforms, and as a potential recipient of the Ageing Australia You are ACE! Awards, announced on Ageing Australia Aged Care Employee Day (7 August).
